Sick of my colleagues quoting Friends?

The tv show. I loved the show as much as the next person.

But honestly they quote something from it every day. It’s just not funny hearing it repeated and it’s so old!

Aibu?

i don't really understand any of these quote but to show how old i am , i mentioned a new colleague "Charlie" to my boss, who immediately said "Charlie Farley.......and Piggy Malone"
to which I replied "and the Phantom Raspberry Blower of old London Town!" and we both fell about laughing.

Wonder if anyone on here knows what I'm talking about?

Yes!! Two Ronnies, used to love that when I was little Grin

Could you BE anymore unreasonable?

dementedma · 05/05/2018 20:32

well done cady. Two ronnies indeed.

I think Friends is hilarious and had fantastic writers.

But quoting the show? Seems less funny. It’s just copying and not being original.

Why has the thread stopped? You can't just give up! Is that what a dinosaur would do?

I do. When I hear someone say ' I want a word with you' I blow a raspberry. No one knows why.

"Now you stay out there and you think about what you did!"

"That's a duck"

I love the scene where Monica, Ross and Chnandler are sharing secrets about each other:

No, he visited a little town south of throw up!!
